I was just shifting some junk in the loft and came across a load of pretty much pristine LGB boxes.

Now, I can see that I MAY, one day have a use for some of the boxes that contained wagons and coaches, but the majority had track in them. I'll never have a use for those, as just about all my track has been bent, cut or what have you.

Are there folks who want these boxes?

Bear in mind I'm in the USA.

I don't want money for them, but if someone has an overwhelming need I'm happy to part with them. However, if someone wants to make a profit out of my willingness to help out a fellow enthusiast, that's not on!

Any ideas?

As an example of what people pay for old boxes there is a classic on e-bay at the moment. The item is an old empty box for a Playmobil castle (not trains I know, but stick with me!). It sold for 20,50 euros ! There can be value in empty boxes.

Many, many things were removed from the attic! Train boxes, old Christmas decorations, old Halloween decorations, boxes of stuff that hadn’t been unpacked from two house moves ago and had migrated across The Pond from The Old Country, a large collection of Apple boxes from long traded-in iPhones, iPads and assorted iDevices, old photographic equipment boxes...... Yes, it’s a sizable space, but much more accessible now. We had an estate sale at my Father in Law’s house and took the opportunity to offload heaps of our stuff for which we had no current use. Quite a cathartic excerise. Regrettably, i found nothing similar to Greg’s suggestion, but wouldn’t know what to do with it even if I did. Now all I have to figure out is what to do with 5-6000 vinyl singles from when I was a DJ in the ‘70s and ‘80s that are still in my mate’s farm back in the UK!

Says the guy with a collection of Prog Rock vinyl. Not really ripe for a bit of dico grooving or scratching even. I sometimes wonder if I should redistribute via one of the auction sites. Seems like an intact gatefold sleeve baring Rodger Dean's artwork for "One Live Badger" collects a premium - Now if only the rest of it could do the same. Max
